Synopsis
There’s a serial killer on the loose.
When bodies start washing up along the banks of the River Thames, DI Henley fears it is the work of Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer. But it can’t be him; Olivier is already behind bars, and Henley was the one who put him there.
The race is on before more bodies are found.
She’d hoped she’d never have to see his face again, but Henley knows Olivier might be the best chance they have at stopping the copycat killer. But when Olivier learns of the new murders, helping Henley is the last thing on his mind . . .
Will it take a killer to catch the killer?
Now all bets are off, and the race is on to catch the killer before the body count rises. But who will get there first – Henley, or the Jigsaw Killer?
My Review
This often felt like the 2nd book in the series with the back story of Olivier and Henley however this was explored in plenty of detail in the book. I really liked the character of Henley although I found the mistakes she made in her personal life a little hard to understand – it was understandable why the case meant so much to her but the decisions she made surrounding others involved in the case were certainly stupid at times, especially when she had so much to lose.
I liked the character of Ramouter, someone who just wants to do good for his family and the public and I would love to see more from him. Olivier was a repulsive man and I really do hope that what many characters believe at the end is true. I was a little disappointed with the reveal of the copycat as I felt they weren’t shown much in the story and other characters would have made a lot more sense however I was very impressed by the novel and will definitely be checking more of the authors work out.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
